Happy Halloween from the cast of Disney's Bolt!

For Liam's Bolt costume I used Simplicty pattern 2855. It was a very easy to follow pattern and worked up quickly. A costume staple. I highly recommend it. So many options.
To make the ears a little more sticky-upy and Bolt-like I just enlarged the cat ears provided in the pattern and added an extra layer of felt on the inside.
For the tail, I altered the cat tail provided in the pattern making it thicker overall and widening the end even more.
Take away the lightning bolt and the collar and the costume is a dead ringer for the wolf costume in Where the Wild Things Are so we just may use this one again next year if it still fits. Who am I kidding? I'm going to want to make a totally different costume just for fun. Suggestions welcome.

VERRRY cute! I am still in love with your costumes last year too! (That's how I found you a few months ago, and I've been stalking you since.)
Hi
I live in the UK and have been searching for a Bolt costume for my daughter, she will be 3 at the end of July, on the net and cant find anywhere to buy one. She will be in a dancing show in October and she wants to dress up as Bolt, do they sell the costume in the USA? if so do you have an web address. I thought you had bought the costume but read that you had made it, well I am not good at sewing so wondered if I could buy the costume from you.
thanks daisy and sophia
